Isn't it nice to have a reason to go on living?

There's a new Jim Jones Revue album called The Savage Heart slated for release in October! UK tour dates are coming up, hopefully something in the U.S. if I hold my breath. Here's the spiel from the JJR PR Department;

The Jim Jones Revue’s eagerly anticipated
third studio album The Savage Heart will be released by Play It Again
Sam/Punk Rock Blues on 15October.

The Savage Heart sees the band exploring
new musical and lyrical territory, while still harnessing their renowned
powerhouse sound. The album was produced by Jim Sclavunos (Grinderman/Nick Cave
& The Bad Seeds) and mixed by Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys/Adele).In support of The Savage Heart, the band will be touring the UK in October. Tickets go on sale Wednesday July 11th. Along with the international success of sold-out tours across Europe, Australia and America, The Jim Jones Revue were nominated as one of MOJO’s best live bands for 2011 and have performed tracks from their critically acclaimed album Burning Your House Down (2010) on Later with Jools Holland and The Late Show with David Letterman. UK Tour dates are listed below.

Truth.

"...authenticity without evolution isn't authenticity, but mimicry. And not terribly authentic or interesting at all." -Ted Drozdowski

My 15 Minutes..14...13...

And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."-- Nick Tosches, Where Dead Voices Gather

"My songs, they have just the one chord, there's none of that fancy stuff you hear now, with lots of chords in one song. If I find another chordI leave it for another song." -Junior Kimbrough
